On compute server (e.g. elcattivo)
If you used and customized jupyter (notebook/lab before) save your current enviornment first:
mv ~/.jupyter ~/.jupyter.v0.
Then simply type the following
tmux new
jupyter lab --no-browser --port=NNNNN --ip=\*
where NNNNN is random port number - choose one between 10000 and 65535.
On your remote computer, e.g. at home
generate a tunnel through ssh:
ssh -L 8888:elcattivo:NNNNN -l USER -J geniux.molgen.mpg.de elcattivo
monitor the machine using
htop
htop -u $USER
and point your local browser (firefox) to localhost:8888.
On a computer within our institute's network
you would not need the tunnel. Simply point your browser to elcattivo:NNNNN.
To install the R kernel
run this in an R session:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("IRkernel/IRkernel")
IRkernel::installspec()
for more customization
run
jupyter lab --generate-config
and edit the generated config file.
ssh config
configure ssh with your own ~/.ssh/config file:
Host tunnel
HostName elcattivo
User UUUUU
ProxyJump geniux.molgen.mpg.de
LocalForward 8888 elcattivo:NNNNN
where UUUUU is your username.
Then it suffices to run ssh tunnel.
htop config
copy the file htoprc in this dir into your own config:
mkdir -p ~/.config/htop
cp htoprc ~/.config/htop/
